A triplet of Ax hands

Now, there's a little bit more going on. I'm OOP. That hurts my equity a little. My hand is offsuit; big offsuit broadway cards do not like big multiway pots. Moreover, we have six limpers, a Button raise and an SB cold call. On average I would say the chances that no pair and no other Ax or Kx hands are out there is low. This does cut into my average equity.

I think your equity is largely hurt by your position. Let's say everyone complied and checked to the button. He'll bet, you'll raise, and people will still be getting 8:1. This is probably the best case scenario as well. I like the point you made - this is exactly like waiting until the turn for a greater edge.

As for the other hands, I can't find anything that's wrong IMO.

Hand 3:

As I mentioned last night I much prefer a flop checkraise or a river checkraise given the lineup you suggested. If you allow the limper to overcall and win with a small pair it is a complete disaster.

I too cannot fathom folding the flop in hand 1. The dude has a set or a flush draw, and then he checks the turn. If a diamond comes on the river I think you should open muck though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like your AK hand. In #1, I probably check intending to checkraise again, given your read. If SB checkraises you can fold safely.

#3 I usually checkraise this flop against this sort of opponent. Given the flop/turn I don't mind the river call though it's fairly close.
